Rabbi Achiad Ettinger passed away a short time ago from his wounds sustained in the Palestinian terror attack yesterday, which most international media can barely be bothered to report on.

He taught at a yeshiva in a poor district of south Tel Aviv. He was a father of 12 children, who no longer have a father. A wife has lost her husband and is left alone to raise 12 children. Students have lost their teacher.

"Peacemaker" Abbas's Palestinian Authority is using European taxpayers money to currently hand out candies to Palestinian children to celebrate his murder. The Trump administration has finally cut all American funding for such celebrations. Will the European democracies follow?

Hundreds of Iranian women defied strict rules requiring them to cover their heads in public, by sending photos of themselves without headscarves to a special Facebook page. They face arrest if identified. They quickly put their hijabs back on after taking the photos.

Interviews with human rights heroes

The wife of Saudi Arabia’s best known political prisoner, liberal blogger Raif Badawi, who was sentenced to 1,000 lashes, speaks out.

Meanwhile on campus…

News from the Middle East can be depressing. Here is something more upbeat: people across the region record themselves singing along to the Pharrell Williams’ hit “Happy”.

Happy in Tel Aviv
